Tied up in d&d/trpgs?

[TimChimp]

At this moment d&d fifth edition is by far the most played tabletop role-playing game not in the whole world but in the whole history of table top rpgs, so its safe to assume that at least someone else beside me in this site has played or at least heard about it or similar games.

A while ago I played a d&d campaign with a few friends and I took quick notice of the fact that their characters were getting tied up a lot, which I couldn't help but find curious considering my inclinations. This happened so often that it made me want to write a story about it and all the times it happened, but aside from that, I wanted to ask the following question:

¿Has this ever happened to you? I mean, have you ever played d&d or another tabletop rpg and either had your character end up tied up or, if you're a game master, have NPCs tie up the characters of your players. And if this has indeed happened to you, ¿Do you mind sharing the story? I'm quite interested.

Yes. I've only ever done one partial campaign but it was probably 20 sessions long and there were at least four tie ups. I did it over online Hangouts/Zoom with friends that are scattered across the US, so we weren't in the same room. At least two of the scenarios are ones that I'm fairly sure were built into the plot (Curse of Strahd). But there was at least one scenario that I'm pretty sure was a concoction of the DM and another female player. I don't know if either of them are explicitly into kink. But this made me think that they might be and they really sort of leaned into it. I won't go into details on the other ones because 1) They're not that interesting and 2) I don't want to spoil Curse of Strahd. Everybody should play it. I'm disappointed we didn't get to finish and want to eventually find a group to play through it with at some point. However, the main tie up storyline was a wilder one that I'm positive came from the imagination of the DM and one of the players. So I'll share it. I assume that it is not part of a normal campaign and won't spoil anything. I'll also assume that you ([mention]TimChimp[/mention]) are familiar with D&D terminology. So apologies to anybody else who might get a little lost.

Our party is in a town and there's an artifact that we need to obtain that we've tracked down to certain fortified house belonging to powerful, respected people within the town. We're all Level 2 or 3 at this point so we can't really just storm the place and or we'll suffer a TPK (Total Party Kill). One of the residents of the house is in the tavern that we're in. So my friend's wife decides to have her player, who is a barbarian, go and seduce him to try and gain entry. She succeeds. We were all a little bit shocked by this because as a barbarian, charisma is her dump stat. What did she say? How did she do it? We don't know. We just follow them to the house. This whole session was some masterful DMing by our DM. He separated us and put us in different Hangouts when we separated as a party. So our barbarian and him are in one chat and the rest of the party is in another. We're muted from each other so we have no idea what she's doing. We're outside the house and the keys come flying through an open window on the top floor. We take them and enter the house. Splitting up again. The DM then again splits our party into separate hangouts. The druid and I go one way. The paladin and the rogue go the other way. (We paired the paladin with the rogue to keep him in line).

So our DM now has three separate sessions that he's trying to manage. The barbarian is doing something somewhere in the house. And the other four of us are sneaking around. Looting rooms. And performing stealth checks. However, when we either enter or would perform a perception check on a room on the top floor...We'd find that our barbarian had the NPC that she seduced (voiced by our DM) tied to a bed and was dominating him. When the druid and I found the room they were in the midst of a vicious tickle session. For reference, the druid is another female player and the one that would probably be the most uncomfortable with graphic sexual content. So the barbarian likely kept it light. We found out afterwards that when the rogue and paladin found the room, the barbarian was prepping the NPC for some pegging. For additional reference, the woman who plays our barbarian is the rogue's wife. She was probably trying to embarrass him and make the paladin (and possibly the DM) think that that's what their bedroom life is like. I don't know. I didn't get to hear that part. It was super funny and we had a blast. It was just fun to sneak around a room and have one player have to improvise a kinky, sexual scene on the fly for other players. I still don't know whether it was the DM's idea or the barbarian's idea. I think it might have been both.

A few times, yeah!

There was one instance where are party consisted of a group of thieves; and we were infiltrating a casino for a heist, of sorts…our party Rogue had a run-in with one of the security guards; and after a brief scuffle (non-lethal), subdued the guard: binding & gagging them before sticking them in a supply closet.

Another time, the GM at the time had captured the entire party after a botched infiltration mission into an enemy encampment…as our party consisted largely of spellcasters; we were all tied & gagged to prevent the verbal & somatic components of spells.

During another heist…where we were sneaking into a noble family’s private villa…our party actually executed a pretty clutch series of non-lethal maneuvers: our Bard cast the “Silence” spell on a pair of guards, which prevented them from making any immediate noise, while our Wizard conjured magical ropes & a gag with with “Hold Person” spell; and the Barbarian grappled the other guard. Cue the Rogue swooping in to quickly secure them with more conventional means…and then we actually managed to do this a second time with another set of guards, using the same combination of spells & skill checks!

It was an unprecedented instance where combat did not occur; and our theft was actually successful without the enemy identifying us.

You should put dnd in the search bar on this site, you'll find a few nice stories. And even someone mentioning a westmarches campaign that includes tugs http://tugstories.com/viewtopic.php?f=2 ... 37#p138576
Though I have no clue if that is still activd

My old peer rope group started a D&D game after one of them got pregnant. We were quite social after a few years of playing and didn't want her and her husband to feel left out. My rigger had the idea of a D&D game as he was a regular DM for local groups. For a few months we played every Tuesday night.

The funniest thing was that most of us had never played before so instead of buying little figures and painting them we used 'teenie weenies' from bad dragon (look them up if you're curious)

As we all met doing bondage there was obviously a fair bit of playing around, regardless if it was related to the game or not.

Would love to see more video games like this such as in the Final Fantasy series what had stuff like this. Where both the player and enemy characters are trying to capture the other rather than kill.

You've shared some quite interesting stories! I may get around publishing some of mine if I ever get the will to put them into a readable format

[Detective-Gag]

This topic has gotten me thinking about putting such a scenario in one of my campaigns:

I had a concept where the party will encounter certain NPC's in a hotel they find themselves at; one of them will be impersonated by a shapechanger of some kind...a doppelganger or a changeling.

This imposter will spy on the party to ascertain their weaknesses, and feed this information to their boss; one of the "big bads" of the campaign.

If the party suspects the imposer, they have the option to search their private room at the inn...there, if they pass an investigation check, they can discover a hidden room at the back of the room: inside will be the actual NPC, tied to a chair & gagged, with a "Silence" spell placed upon the small area so that they can't make noise to alert anyone outside.

A nice mini-mystery, if the players choose to pursue it...they might just accept the imposter without ever realizing something was off.

Love this idea. Also enjoy Detective-gag's scenarios. Some great stuff being shared here

I'm part of a campaign right now. The start of the game wasn't the typical "you meet in a tavern..." Our dm asked us before the game started to give a reason why our characters would be in trouble with the law sooo once the game started we were all being escorted to the prison and they chained us to a pillar

[Mister The Edge]

I've always wanted to do a TUG ttrpg campaign.

[Mister The Edge]

I'm goung to attempt to run a TUG TTRPG on Discord. Play-by-post. Message me or check out a post I made in the roleplay section.
